I never said They were Definetly switchin...I said the news is saying "Could be" according to their sources.

Article:
Harvey Dent is the Backbone of Dark Knight
Source: Los Angeles Times January 15, 2008

The Los Angeles Times talked to The Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan, who says that "Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) is a tragic figure, and his story is the backbone of this film."

Nolan seems to believe Bigger role for Dent.

Nothing is definite from any of us at this point. We're all just speculating, but the events that create Two-face happen during the movie IIRC. That'd make a switch in focus to Harvey Dent more likely (hopefully they don't bring "Big bad Harvey" from B:TAS into this).

If Harvey is going to be in... I need to get out a half-dollar and give it the good ol' X. That's what it was right, a half-dollar coin?

Found this also on Dent/Two face for the movie..Interview with Eckhart(Who is playing Dent).

In an interview with MTV.com, Eckhart said "I play Harvey Dent. Harvey Two-Face. They are both in the movie."

also:

In a series of clips shown at Wizard World 2007, - Two major additions to the speculation that Two Face will appear in the film came in the form of a single shot of a spinning 50 cent piece and the final image: after the action montage has slowed down, the camera cuts to a bartender looking at Harvey Dent, whose only onscreen presence is his left shoulder and a bit of a reddish-purple scarred neck. "Dent! I thought you were dead!" the man gasps, to which Harvey replies, "Half."

my guess is that the appearence of Two Face isn't until the very end of the flick.

A la - Jack Napier at the end of Batman Begins.

Anyone else think this is a possibility?

Up until the last few weeks the focus of Dark Knight seemed like it was totally about Jack Napier/The Joker.

thoughts?

[Punchline]

Well, some spec on that I suppose:

1. They allowed Eckhart to mention that Two-Face is in the movie. They wouldn't have cleared him to do so if it was a surprise spot at the end.

2. We'll probably get more Two-Face in this one than you'd think. My speculation is that we're going to get a primary villain in The Joker, with an ORIGIN for Harvey Dent/Two Face. The other Batman movies always teamed up villains, I don't think it'll be the case in TDK.

3. Joker's origins from Jack Napier are only one take on where he came from. There are three or four in the comics alone, at least that are generally agreed upon as mainstream. And we may get a totally different or NO origin on this Joker.

Punchline,

I agree with you about letting Aaron Eckhart talk about Two Face but it seems to me that if they bring Two Face in at the same time as The Joker that it might take away from the true evil that the Joker is.

You know what I mean?

Remeber when they introduced all those characters in Batman Forever and then Batman and Robin. It was kind of hard to keep track of who was on whose side and what not.

Not to mention the fact that they were terrible movies.

I just hope that they don't ruin this one with a bunch of villains all at the same time. Especially if they do "create" or "re-interperate" The Jokers origin.

I really hope we get an origin. Although we might not based on what Gordon said in Begins. He said that he was already calling himself the Joker.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see, unless they release more info on it. But I doubt it.

[Punchline]

My best guess is that Mr. Dent has an accident at least halfway through the movie. A while later, he re-emerges as Two Face. We'll get origins for Two Face but no final outcome for him, as I think he'll battle the Bat in the next movie.

[dalphx]

Great ideas there Punchline, agree with ya there.

[nothinglost]

sounds good to me.

anyone know the timeline of Gordon yet?

Whether he becomes Comissioner in DK or the next one?

My guess is the next one.
